Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Felix Francis returns with the newest thriller in the Dick Francis tradition.

Jeff Hinkley is back for a third outing. Still a British Horseracing Authority investigator, Jeff has been seconded to the US Federal Anti-Corruption in Sports Agency (FACSA), where he has been asked to find a mole in their organization, an informant who is passing on confidential information to those under suspicion in American racing. Jeff attends the Kentucky Derby with the FACSA team, accompanying the Special Agents on a raid to a horse trainer's barn at Churchill Downs. Things do not go well, and someone ends up dead. Then, on the morning of the derby itself, three of the most favored horses in the field fall sick in what Jeff considers are suspicious circumstances. Jeff goes in search of answers, taking on the undercover role of a groom on the backstretch at Belmont Park racetrack in New York. But he discovers far more than he was bargaining for, finding himself as the meat in the sandwich between FACSA and corrupt individuals who will stop at nothing, including murder, to capture the most elusive prize in world sport: the Triple Crown.

Story not quite as good as others.

Story not quite as good as others. Interesting to hear the differences between American horse racing and the UK’S

Excellent, I couldn’t stop listening.


Really enjoyed this book, lots of true details about racing and Triple Crown series. I’m sure there are scammers out there and we don’t hear about them. They were very creative in their cheating. I guess you really can’t believe everything you read in newspapers.

Dick France never disappoints. I know this is is son, but its still a good listen. anytime i want to tackle a big cleaning job, or gardening day. I can turn to These books to get me through.

very enjoyable book

I enjoyed listening to this book. The historical trivia was a fun addition to the book. Triple Crown is absolutely worth a credit.

Sigh...I love the series's but this one disappointed.

I love Dick and Frances books, but this one was disappointing. The reader was boring. Throwing in "informational" facts for once didn't advance the storyline, and the climax was boring and tedious. The worst part was our "hero" was boring. The worst part was the climatic ending. I felt the storylines were rapped up due to a deadline to get to print. The more I think about the war the story ended, the more insipid and disappointing it becomes. I only hope this is a blip in an amazing series.

Following the Dick Francis style.

Surprisingly enjoying Felix Francis' books as much as his father's. They are a little different but still thrilling and informative. The Jeff Hinkle character is fine. I plan to keep on reading his books.

Disappointed

I was disappointed with both the story and the performance. The research of American racing was poor or non-existent as mistake after mistake was made. I usually enjoy Jarvis's narrations but, he needs to work on his American accents. All this was distracting along with a lukewarm storyline. This was not up to the usual standards of a Francis family mystery.
